The oldest piece is a 12 guage 870 Wingmaster that my dad bought used and I bought it from him in about 1973 for $60. I've shot thousands of shells through it, back when I dove hunted a lot. That's pretty much the only shotgun I have used except turkey hunting since then. I've killed deer, rabbit, squirrel, dove, quail and pheasant with it. I don't do that type of hunting much any more. So I've had it 44 years.

Regarding deer hunting, I have a Western Cutlery knife that a friend gave me in about 1980 that I have carried on almost every deer hunt since then. I've gutted and skinned several deer with it. It is a great knife that sharpens good and has good metal in it. That's about 37 years worth of use. Older than most folks on here these days.
